Precast brick panels are being installed on the north façade of the Wexner Medical Center inpatient hospital, dramatically changing the building appearance. The overall project will include both precast panels as well as traditional “hand-laid” brick for portions of the exterior.
The inpatient hospital project reached a major milestone in January. Concrete was recently poured on level 22 of the north and south elevator cores of facility, making it the tallest building on all of the Ohio State campuses. The north and south elevator towers will eventually reach level 25 which will be used for mechanical and support spaces.
In January, Columbus Dispatch shared a story that highlighted ten development projects, including Ohio State’s Innovation District and the Inpatient Hospital, that could transform Columbus in the years to come.
